Impeach07 Campaign

The Impeach07 Campaign launch was announced on February 22, 2007, by Democrats.com. The impeachment movement is "uniting and expanding", according to a mass emailing. "Democrats.com is joining with many other organizations to launch Impeach07, a coordinated series of nationwide actions aimed at" impeaching President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney "through widespread public protest, creative dissent, media activism, education, and lobbying." See Impeach07.org.

Mission

The Impeach07 Campaign states in its email that:

"Bush and Cheney have misled this nation into an aggressive war, spied in open violation of the law, and sanctioned the use of torture - among numerous other offenses. Newsweek reported in October [2006] that a majority of Americans favor impeachment, and in January [2007] that 58% said they wished the Bush administration were over. 'Only a great popular upheaval,' historian Howard Zinn said recently, 'can push both Republicans and Democrats into compliance with the national will.'

"We need to end the Iraq War and prevent an Iran War, and impeachment is the way we will do it."

Planned Events

March on the Pentagon

On March 17, 2007, on the fourth anniversary of the beginning of "the Iraq war (and the 40th anniversary of the famous 1967 March on the Pentagon), Impeach07 will mobilize for a March on the Pentagon to demand peace and impeachment." See MarchOnPentagon.org.
